Ok Picked up some africans this weekend I'm Pretty new to africans but I am trying to ID these guys. Are these electric blue Johanni? They don't really look like Maingano to me. Maybe a hybrid? Sorry for the pics my point and shoot is terrible.

The second one looks like a johanni. First one looks more like a elongatus. Both looks like there from Malawi
 
The second one actually had an almost Identical coloring to the first when I picked them up. Since then the color of the second one has gotten much more gray. I figured it was a dominance issue but now Im not so sure.
 
prolly johanni...def not maingano...they have almost totally horizontal stripes...no vertical breaking at all...
 
Definitely johanni. The reason the other one became dull in color was he is not the dominate one.

Just as a side note you have some mean SOBs on your hands now.
 
Good to know I have about 120 lbs of rockwork in my 75 gallon with lots of crevices and hiding spots. The dominant male is aggressive but the other tank mates seem to have plenty of hiding spots and seem to be handling him well. They have even at times all stayed together without any chasing at all. Does anyone have any suggestions for tank mates for these guys. Right now they are paired with electric yellows.
